Return hose.....into a bottle. Put a double sided barb on it and add an extra hose if you want to make it longer. Pretty simple, straight forward stuff.....

coolant will still leak out of radiator hoses unless you also drain the block of coolant. it's the big bolt on the front of the block.

Crank the car, turn the wheel side to side.

You don't need to drain the power steering fluid to do a swap. Just take the pump off the motor, make sure you don't kink the lines, and get it out of the way to do the swap. Same goes for the A/C compressor. I'd recommend using something like a bent up coat hanger to support the pumps and lines somehow.

Sorry man, I have used that many times in my H-T career. Scanned Helms manual to the rescue, I guess.

Werd... Same goes with the tranny fluid, you don't need to drain it out. However, If you are re-using the same tranny, I would drain it and replace with new fluid.

Ehh, if you're taking out the axles, you need to drain the tranny fluid.

OP, a helms manual is worth its weight in gold.
